WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER English poet (1769 - 1834) Be merry all, be merry all,   With holly dress the festive hall;     Prepare the song, the feast, the ball,       To welcome merry Christmas.       - [Christmas] Too late I staid, forgive the crime,   Unheeded flew the hours;     How noiseless falls the foot of Time       That only treads on flow'rs!         What eye with clear account remarks           The ebbing of his glass,             When all its sands are diamond sparks               That dazzle as they pass?                 Ah! who to sober measurement                   Time's happy swiftness brings,                     When birds of Paradise have lent                       Their plumage for his wings?       - To the Lady Anne Hamilton [Time] Last Revised: 2008 June 30 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
